POP Server Password message
18 Answers
Every now and then a message pops up wanting my network password. All the fields are completed and generally I can get rid of it by persistently clicking the 'OK' button.
Today I'm not having so much joy, why does this sporadically occur and how do I deal with it???

It is OE that I use and there are no extraneous accounts to be deleted. Password has been re-entered numerous times but to no avail.
Computers and the associated language is an anathema to me. I am more than competent using MS Office whilst everything is ticketyboo - when things go wrong I am stuffed - as are many. I can drive my car, but I cannot replace the head gasket, fortunately when I visit my garage and describe the symptoms they ask questions that help them narrow down the problem without demeaning the customer.

It has spontaneously fixed itself.
I won't apologise to those of you who thought I was rude. My analogy of visiting the garage with my car was meant more broadly than a singular dig at Albags.
Not everyone on here is familiar with computer speak in the same way many don't know there head gasket from their bushes. A simple question that is incorrectly phrased due to an ignorance of the technology is often met with a 'well, gee thanks for all the info' response. I just don't think this is helpful, it might be second nature to some but many, many users of this site are not fully computer literate and do get in a muddle from time to time. A little more patience and an appreciation that we're not all Steve Jobs/Bill Gates would be appreciated.
Umm, Chelle, Cazz - you may have thought I was rude. Al acknowldeged my response with an 'LOL' and I *did* appreciate his answer - or what of it I could understand ;-)

" fortunately when I visit my garage and describe the symptoms they ask questions that help them narrow down the problem without demeaning the customer."
Presumably, when you visit your garage, you take your car with you, so that they don't need to ask you the make and model. We don't have that advantage on here.

Once I found trying to log into Yahoo mail wasn't working I guessed the problem was at that end.
When I visit my garage the first question they ask me is the make and model of my car ;-)
I didn't mean to be rude, I don't know what/where to find information that might be helpful - assuming a response of 'it's a pink Dell laptop' isn't going to help I (and others) value a bit more direction.

Eccles - you obviously didn't follow the link in the Technology section titled 'How to post an effective technology question' !
